LGBT Group Urges Biden to Revoke Accreditation of Christian Schools and Colleges
Dec 3, 2020
A major LGBTQ+ advocacy group is urging the potential Biden administration to sign an executive order to revoke the accreditation of any Christian college or school that does not have a policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The Human Rights Campaign recently issued a document directed at the incoming administration entitled “Blueprint for Positive Change 2020.” The document demands a change to the current understanding of education law in relation to accreditation of universities, ensuring that“non-discrimination policies and science-based curriculum are not undermined by religious exemption to accreditation standards.”
Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, criticized the policy, stating, “In clear text, for all the world to see, the Human Rights Campaign summons the Biden administration to deny accreditation—or, at the very least, to facilitate the denial of accreditation—to Christian institutions, Christian colleges and universities, and, for that matter, any other religious institution or school that does not meet the demands of the LGBTQ orthodoxy. This would mean abandoning biblical standards for teaching, hiring, admissions, housing, and student life. It would mean that Christian schools are no longer Christian.”
